The Las Vegas Raiders will face the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night. Head coach Antonio Pierce gave his final remarks on Friday.
Both teams are reeling from ugly defeats, and the Silver and Black is a bit banged up. Nonetheless, the Raiders want to play their physical style of football and maintain the progress under interim offensive coordinator Scott Turner.Below is a partial transcript from defensive coordinator Patrick Graham's Thursday presser:
Coach Graham: "Seeing Cousins before, the quarterback, seeing him a little bit before, some of the players have a little bit of familiarity with him. But really, the tape has been the best thing they go off of, just in terms of how they've been - pretty efficient offense in terms of being able to run the ball. The backs are really good. The O-line's doing a good job of working together. They’ve got a good scheme with the stretch run game.
Coach Graham: "It's definitely a challenge. You start with, I mean the speed and the combination of size, and I know they're different, but like there's definitely a size element to both of them. There's definitely a speed element, one more than the other. But again, they do such a good job with their scheme in terms of that stretch run game, in terms of the outside zone.
Coach Graham: "I just think guys were hungry for the ball. We keep talking about it just in terms of the lack of turnovers, not necessarily the lack of attempts, but guys just say, 'Just stay at it. Stay at it this time of year, and just try to get the ball off them.
